The longest skip at which בוצץ was found in the Torah is 101,045 — at Deuteronomy 33:17, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

By book (where the first letter stands) · every skip

  • Genesis 7,721
  • Exodus 5,126
  • Leviticus 3,910
  • Numbers 5,884
  • Deuteronomy 4,422

Examples across the range

5 of the 27,063 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.

Under each example, every letter of the sequence is listed with the verse it stands in. A letter falls in its verse by position alone — one letter every so many letters of the text — so the verses are where the letters stand, not part of the sequence's meaning.
